50R does offer audio streaming for both iOS and Android though it is not the highest fidelity. However, I will take the low-quality audio streaming over none at all. If you need hands-free calling you will want to look at other Jabra hearing products.

PhoneNow™PhoneNow™PhoneNow is a feature that automatically switches the hearing instrument to a phone program. If there is no telecoil in the hearing instrument, an acoustic phone program with a frequency response optimized for use with the phone is selected. If the hearing instrument also contains a telecoil, PhoneNow can be programmed to switch to inductive transmission of the phone signal through the telecoil. Regardless of the presence or absence of a telecoil in the hearing instrument, PhoneNow is activated through a small magnet that is affixed to the phone receiver.

DirectionalityDirectionalityDepending on the types and number of microphones a hearing aid has, the hearing aid may be able to boost sounds from specific directions (by reducing sounds from other directions). This can be helpful to focus on a speaker directly in front of the hearing aid user, as well as to give the user information about where different sounds are coming from.
MultiScope Adaptive Directionality™MultiScope Adaptive Directionality™Allows the hearing care professional to set how wide the directional beam should be for each individual user.SoftSwitching™SoftSwitching™SoftSwitching uses sound level and speech detection algorithms to decide when directionality is likely to be advantageous in a certain listening environment. It also offers the same four selections of MultiScope beamwidth settings: the default AutoScope, Narrow, Medium and Wide. The SoftSwitching mode differs from MultiScope Adaptive Directionality in that it uses slower transitions between directional settings and the omnidirectional setting, which is sometimes more comfortable and preferable among certain hearing aid users.

Feedback SuppressionFeedback SuppressionIf any sound amplified by the hearing aid escapes the ear canal, it may reach the hearing aid’s own microphone and cause a harsh whistling noise. Some hearing aids are able to recognize when this feedback occurs and reduce or eliminate it.
Auto DFS™Auto DFS™Auto DFS also consists of two cancellation filters; one is slow-adapting the other is fast-adapting. The fast-adapting filter estimates the feedback path for a few seconds every time the hearing aid is turned on. This updates the slow-acting filter, which then continues to monitor the feedback path based on the estimation of the fast-acting filter. When the hearing aid is turned off, the slow-adapting filter stores the estimation obtained over the course of the weartime. When the hearing aid is turned on again, the slow-acting filter has a more accurate “picture” of the feedback path in that particular ear than it did in the previous use.DFS Ultra™ IIDFS Ultra™ IIDFS Ultra II analyzes and models the incoming sound and uses this information to prevent the feedback cancellation filters from attacking desired sounds. This results in excellent feedback cancellation performance without creating disturbing sound quality artifacts.

NoiseTracker™ II: On/OffNoiseTracker™ IINoiseTracker II uses a technology called spectral subtraction. Spectral subtraction works by subtracting the short-term noise spectrum from the signal, leaving only the speech portion behind ... ReSound’s NoiseTracker II is able to use spectral subtraction successfully because the Environmental Classifier has identified speech and noise so precisely.

Wind Noise ReductionWind Noise ReductionAs wind blows against the microphones of hearing aids, unpleasant noise may be generated. Some hearing aids have the ability to recognize this wind noise and reduce its level. Such reductions may also affect the audibility of desired sounds, like speech.
Wind Guard: On/OffWind GuardWhen no wind noise is found, the hearing aid constantly updates and stores the sound input levels in each Warp band. Then, when wind is present, WindGuard calculates the amount of gain reduction needed to return to the stored level of the specific bands affected by wind noise.
